“A deeply honest and funny look at how exhausting
it can be to live a human life, Unreliable
Narrator is a book for anyone who wants to laugh and
feel less alone.”—Amy Poehler
A hilarious and insightful collection of essays
exploring impostor syndrome, from the inside and out, by the
most successful fraud in comedy
Aparna Nancherla
is a superstar comedian on the rise—a darling of
Netflix and Comedy Central’s comedy special lineups, a
headliner at comedy shows and music festivals, a frequenter
of late night television and the subject of numerous
profiles. She’s also a successful actor who has
written a barrage of thoughtful essays published by the
likes of the New York Times. If you ask her, though,
she’s a total fraud. She’d hate to admit it, but
no one does impostor syndrome quite like Aparna Nancherla.
UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is a collection of
essays that uses Aparna’s signature humor to
illuminate an interior life, one constantly bossed around by
her depression (whom she calls Brenda), laced with anxiety
like a horror movie full of jump-scares, and plagued by an
unrepenting love-hate relationship with her career as a
painfully shy standup comedian. But luckily, crippling self-
doubt comes with the gift of keen self-examination. These
essays deliver hilarious and incredibly insightful
meditations on body image, productivity culture, the ultra-
meme-ability of mental health language, and who, exactly,
gets to make art “about nothing.” Despite her
own arguments to the contrary, UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is
undeniable proof that Aparna is a force—as a comedian
and author alike—to be reckoned with.
